Treasure Chest Thursday - Treasures of Truth

One of my favorite family treasures is my mother's Treasures of Truth book. For those of you who don't know, this book is more or less a scrap book that young LDS girls acquired when they started going to Mutual or MIA (Mutual Improvement Association).

I have one as well, but the cover of mine is ugly. I searched and searched, but couldn't find any indication that they still make these. Hers has the coolest looking page dividers. I scanned one of them, but I wish I would have scanned all of them while I was at her house last November.

The other dividers are for hobbies & interests, friends, and I think one is for education. I can't remember them all.

This is the only collective place to get a peek at mom's personal history. I don't know how many years ago I gave her a journal for Christmas. How many pages have been written on you ask? None! Notta. Zip. Zilch. Zero!

I scanned a few of the things from the inside pages including her elementary school class pictures, dance cards, and this is a sampling of her artwork:

Did you ever make a scribble picture? You know, when you close your eyes and let your pencil go wherever it wants to on a piece of paper? Well that is how this drawing started.

Some time in the future I think I will make a similar binder for my granddaughters.
